Shatnez: The Hidden Threat in Your Holiday Suit

Shatnez is a Torah-prohibited mixture of wool and linen. Pesach is a time for buying new outfits, and that's where the risk lies.

The Treacherous Collar

Expensive suits often use linen padding sewn into wool fabric for collar support. The more expensive the suit, the higher the probability.

Women's Fashion

A wool sweater over a linen blouse can create a problem.

Advice

Never rely on the seller's word. Only testing at a certified laboratory guarantees the absence of the prohibited mixture.
